NVIDIA Graphics Processors Recommended By Creators of Hot Holiday Games

Vikingod · Dec 12, 2005, 11:07 AM

Video games are the rage this year, and PC games are sure to be popular gifts for the upcoming holidays. According to the creators of hit games such as Age of Empires III, Battlefield 2: Special Forces, Call of Duty 2, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, City of Villains, F.E.A.R., Quake 4, Serious Sam II, and World of Warcraft, the most important equipment for playing today’s new games may not be armor or fancy weapons, but graphics processing units (GPUs) from NVIDIA Corporation which they recommend due to the increased demands these games place on old PCs.

"Consumers need to know that the most coveted games for the holiday season are popular because they are fun and engrossing, but a big part of that is because they deliver higher picture quality—and that requires more graphics horsepower from your PC," said Ujesh Desai, general manager for desktop GPUs at NVIDIA. "It can be quite disheartening watching your child unwrap a game they have wanted for months, and then having them disappointed when their computer is not powerful enough to play it."

This is kind of a stupid article posted.

Why not just ask every GITG company they think is the best video card to buy while we are at it.

Valve, Arenasoft (NCwhatever)? Few others that I'm currently at a complete blank.

Edit: Actually...wasn't City of Heros ATI sponsored? Is city of Villians different?
